One of the free time activities I love as a quilter is Instagram.
So much can be shared in a photo.
I was a winner of Southern Fabric giveaway of some Miss Kate scrap packs.
I've been in love with Bonnie and Camille lines since being able to use some in a BOM kit I bought earlier this year. When Miss Kate was announced I jumped all over that bandwagon and was dying to get some.
The scrap packs yielded 22" strips and they ranged between 2.5 - 2" strips. I looked for some jelly roll patterns and had way more than enough to enlarge and tweak the Fat Quarter Shop Jelly Roll Jam pattern.
I have to say that with all the stress in my life right now...these colors and the awesome pattern just clicked with me.
And this from start to finish helped me get through life...oh so much life.
Crashed car.
New to me car shopping (it is actually a truck).
Too much travel.
Way too much travel.
I basted and quilted.
Even used a tiny binding (from the 2" strips)
I guess it's more than okay...
as it's cat approved.
And it was instantly claimed by my stepdaughter.
It's the proud mama moment as it's her first of mine. She says it's fine for her bed...it's just hers, hers, hers.
Ahhh gotta love when everything just zips together.
Thanks again to Southern Fabric. I was so pleased by the fastest shipping. And I'm sure to order something that I hope will go together just as fast!
I love your quilt, and nothing better then using free fabric!
ReplyDeleteI hope no one was hurt in the crash! A new truck sounds fun and that's a pretty quilt! :)
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is beautiful, and it is wonderful when they are claimed and loved. Quilting has helped me through some rough times too. It is so therapeutic.
ReplyDeleteGotta love a satisfied quilt customer! Hope life settles down for you
ReplyDeleteWhat a great feeling - to have something claimed straight away! All the hard work was worth it. I love how you added the stripe of gray, it gives the eye a place to rest amidst all the other lovely colors. Those fabrics must have been so inspirational for you to be so quick into putting them together. Great finish! xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely quilt and it feels so rewarding to have it loved straight away. It sounds like it was just the trick for a difficult time. I love Southern fabric scrap bags. Such good value and great selection of scraps.
